Maui....a place on earth my dear friend Deb calls home. This is the next vacation I will be taking when I am able to travel that far. I figured since I will be going there I should get used to the surroundings by listening and watching some peaceful videos. It has been just over 3 years since I was at the ocean & beach. Even on a dreary day the scene and sounds take me to a quiet, vast, powerful place in my body, mind & spirit. How could anyone deny God's existence when seeing and hearing these things. Huge, timely, in control, powerful, magnificent doing what it is to do each part of the day. Cleaning the ocean floor and dumping presents each day for us nature lovers. It is my paradise. My place I wish to retire...maybe not Maui...but any ocean front. To go to sleep near it, to wake up near it. Yes, that is love. Omnipotent, powerful love. Peaceful, tranquil love. The place I wish to be. So I visit often in my mind.
It has been nearly 10 years since I rented a cottage on the beach at Siasconset,
Nantucket. We had it for 10 days. 10 days of sheer relaxation and energizing. It is the best trip I have ever taken with my son. Both free to do as we pleased each day and then joining in for dinner together or an excursion on the moors in a jeep (where cranberries grow) or shopping. All the while having massages & lunches to die for. This was all thanks to the divorce. Paid for on my own. Saved for many years. A long awaited trip well deserved. It was my renewing place to start my life on my own, to cast all my prior tribulations into the ocean and visualize them being washed out to sea. Yes, my imagination gets carried away....but it was a renewing time in my life in many ways.
I now see my opportunity to go to Maui as a renewing also.....of mind, body & spirit...because this dreaded MS is weighing me down and I know the ocean, sand, shells & rocks are calling me once again.
Deb.....hope to see you in a few months for a visit of coffee in the morning & wine in the evening...and all the other wonderful sites to behold!

I have several blogs already on blogger.com for various interests. This blog roll will be used to offer brief updates on book reviews, book launches & signings and any other new idea's coming into my mind for the third book I hope to publish in 2012. I am full of experiences in life which I feel have taught me a lot & perhaps may at some point in your life be of interest to you. My heart has been heavy these last 15 years with losing numerous friends way to early in their lives and mine and from personal experience of losing both my parents just under 2 years. My father in 2006 and my mother in 2007. My whole life changed then, and I am getting by without them but there is a yearning to express myself on paper once again concerning my thoughts. Writing helps me tremendously. My third book may be entirely on a different subject. We will just have to see where my inspiration leads me these next months and where God leads.
Thanks for reading my new site & I hope to keep in touch. Please feel free to leave comments if you like.
